Our Leland Champion Tree-
During the months of December and January, a group of citizens in Leland came together and convinced the
Leelanau County Road Commission to postpone removing the tree. This Leland group raised funds to hire tree
specialists to inspect and report on the health of the champion Cottonwood. During the January meeting of the LCRC,
the ad hoc group of concerned citizens presented the findings. The LCRC and the group of citizens have agreed
to work together to preserve this historic tree.
Currently, we have until March 31st to complete the necessary pruning and cabling of the tree.
The estimate to prune and cable the tree is $6000. However, the tree also needs to be inspected
annually and further maintenance could be required. Thus, the fundraising goal will be much higher
than originally anticipated.
